I appreciate any advice.

Thanks.
IMO... Track mode with all nannies off / sus on sport.

I've considered doing some of the winter autoX events but our SC3 tires are horrible if it's <60F. With a high of 45 you'll need a few runs with minimal time in between to even have a hope of your car handling normally, and it'll never get close to it's full potential. To help compensate I'd try running a few psi less in rear vs front. Maybe try 35 psi front / 31-32 psi rear.

The car's handling is going to be REALLY off and totally sketchy at 45F on your 1st run, and if you go 1st it may be more like 35F, which is really below what the tires are designed for... the car is gonna plow like crazy... be careful and don't hit any walls!
